The White House has firmly ruled out the possibility of using nuclear weapons against Iran, even as former President Donald Trump issued a grave warning that Iran's civilization could face annihilation if it does not comply with a peace negotiation deadline. Trump's remarks have heightened global concerns regarding the U.S. response to Iran's actions, with JD Vance, a U.S. Senator, suggesting that the government has various 'tools' at its disposal to address what he termed Iran's 'economic terrorism.' However, the White House quickly clarified that no nuclear options were being considered, dismissing any interpretations of Vance's comments as misleading. As the deadline approaches, doubts grow about the likelihood of an agreement between Washington and Tehran, particularly regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic efforts are reportedly ongoing in Pakistan, but they may be undermined by potential military actions from Saudi Arabia, which could involve Pakistan due to its defense commitments. Meanwhile, Iran's state-run media has indicated that diplomatic channels with the United States are effectively closed, signaling a challenging path ahead for negotiations.
